Ahmedabad, October 21: In a shocking incident, a man stabbed a 27-year-old fast-food restaurant manager after finding him alone with his wife in Amraiwadi’s CTM area in Ahmedabad on Sunday afternoon, October 19. The victim, Gopal Rathod, suffered fatal injuries to his neck and shoulder. The accused reportedly attacked him in a fit of rage, hurling casteist slurs before fleeing the scene. Rathod was declared dead upon arrival at the hospital despite emergency intervention.

The case came to light after Rathod’s 28-year-old sister lodged an FIR with Amraiwadi police, accusing the 30-year-old husband of murder and voluntarily causing hurt. The FIR also cited provisions under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, following reports that the accused hurled casteist slurs at the victim before stabbing him. According to the Times of India report, the accused was apprehended shortly after the attack and taken into custody for questioning. Ahmedabad Shocker: Robber Stabs Man to Death, Injures Woman in Car After Birthday Celebration Near Narmada Canal; Investigation Underway.
